Stroke damage in a human brain
_____________________________________________
Horrors: I've forgotten to post several articles I wrote about findings presented at the Society for Neuroscience conference last week. I'll work my way backwards, I suppose, so here's the latest, about a University of Milan discovery that blocking a certain cell-wall gate in the hour after stroke (in a lab rat) could prevent almost all damage.

Any background if it is an actual brain? ie. What type of cognitive difficulties were encountered, etc.
Thanks.
The photo is not directly related to the research, which was on lab rats -- it's a stock photo from the sciam.com story, so I've actually no idea of the history of that brain. But it seemed an arresting image.
